I'm re-posting this from another one of my threads..
Ok.. I'm at 18 days now. This batch is still moving very slow, and starting to worry me. It's still dropping by .001 every day.
OG was 1.071
Predicted Final Gravity is supposed to be between 1.015 to 1.018
I took a reading tonight, and It's at 1.021...
Should I just let it keep chugging along at this slow pace, or should I order some more yeast and re-pitch? 18 days just seems way too long to ferment out... I've read that some people leave their lagers in primary for as long as a month before racking to secondary for lagering. Can It actually take that entire month to ferment out?
